Athletistic / Others. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov delivered a speech at the opening ceremony of the second congress of the International Russophile Movement. During the monologue, he paid attention to the situation of Russian sports under sanctions.
“Despite the unprecedented politicization of the international sports movement, Russian sport looks to the future with confidence. One cannot help but recall the Games of the Future, which are now being held in Kazan in a completely new format. It is also worth mention the BRICS Games and the World Friendship Games, which will be held in 2024 in Russia,” Lavrov was quoted as saying by “Championship.”
On December 8, the IOC Executive Committee decided to admit athletes from the Russian Federation and Belarus to the 2024 Summer Olympic Games with individual neutral status and subject to a number of conditions. This decision by the IOC is contrary to the Olympic Charter and all sanctions imposed on athletes for political reasons are discriminatory.
